I Belong to Me (Stripped)

[Verse 1]
You were my saviour, you were my world
You were the big man and I was your girl
And when it all crumbled, I was sure I'd be lost
But I'd always known my way, I guess I forgot

[Chorus]
So don't say that you love me or
Tell me you care
Be there to hold me
No, I don't need none of that, no
'Cause I belong to me before I ever belong to you

[Verse 2]
Why'd you keep calling
This morning, three times?
I shouldn't pick up
I guess I'm too nice
It's clear that you need me
More than I need you, oh
So why can't you see, baby?
I'm not yours to lose

[Chorus]
So don't say that you love me or
Tell me you care
Be there to hold me
No, I don't need none of that, no
'Cause I belong to me before I ever belong to you

[Bridge]
Oh, look at us now
I guess you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Boy, it's over
It's too late to come around, oh
It's always way too hard to get through this
And now you wanna come on some new shit like, "Who this?"
Baby, that's some bullshit, yeah
I'm better off on my own
And you can do what you want, but you can't

[Chorus]
Say that you love me or
Tell me you care
Be there to hold me
No, I don't need none of that
'Cause I belong to me before I ever belong to you, mmm
Yeah, I belong to me before I ever belong to you
